Yes, you’re right. We are fixated by any promise of enough rain to break the drought. Here’s a progression of images illustrating the change from pretty-light to getting-heavier rain as the day progressed.

These people thought the rain heavy enough to warrant umbrellas as they walk between buidlings.

Looking out of the office window. The hills in the background are all but obscured by the rain falling.

I picked my truck up from the garage where it had had a service. The rain had collected on the side window. It looks dark and inhospitable outside.

Driving in heavy’ish rain. It looks like the windscreen had been smeared with vaseline, but no, it’s just water.
